I'm not familiar with perl regex, but you could do it it sed by using 2 substitutions:
Code:
$ cat ~/tmp/file.txt
this is spam [i need this] and i need this too
this is spam [i need this][but not this] and i need this too
this is spam [i need this][but not this] [or this ] and i need this too
$  sed 's/^[^[]*\[\([^]]*\)\]/\1/g; s/\[[^]]*\]//g' ~/tmp/file.txt
i need this and i need this too
i need this and i need this too
i need this  and i need this too

NAME
Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin - Connect a Mail::Message with Mail::SpamAssassin INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin is a Mail::SpamAssassin::Message SYNOPSIS
# WARNING: requires OLD SpamAssassion 2.x, not the new 3.x # See Mail::Box::Search::SpamAssassin for the preferred interface # However, it is possible to do: my $msg = ...; # some Mail::Message object my $sa = Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin->new($msg); my $spam = Mail::SpamAssassin->new; my $status = $spam->check($sa); $msg->label(spam => 1) if $status->is_spam; $status->rewrite_mail; # Adds spam lines to header DESCRIPTION
WARNING: This module only works with the old version of SpamAssassin: version 2.x. The newer 3.x releases have changed the way that messages are kept. Please contribute improved code. The "Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin" class --sorry for the long package name-- is a wrapper around Mail::SpamAssassin::Message, which is an interface to the spam checking software of Mail::SpamAssassin. METHODS
Mail::Message::Wrapper::SpamAssassin->new(MESSAGE, OPTIONS) Creates a wrapper around the MESSAGE. The already present fields from a previous run of Spam::Assassin (or probably fake lines) are removed first. SEE ALSO
This module is part of Mail-Box distribution version 2.105, built on May 07, 2012. Website: http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/ LICENSE
